P-3C "Orion" Remod Pak                12/19/22
-- For SF2, Any & All --
This is a fairly heavy overhaul, plus numerous additions, to Florian's Lockheed P-3C "Orion" maritime patrol and anti-submarine aircraft. Please be advised, as the physical model has not been "finished" since it's 2012 release, it may still be considered an "advanced Beta".
This package, due to numerous changes (listed in the Change Log), is designed to REPLACE IN TOTAL the early 2011 kit. If you have that original repackaging mod, you CAN just drop all of this one directly over it, or delete the aircraft and decals folders and start fresh. Your Choice (tm). Either way SHOULD work with no issues. But always think 'safety first'.
The older, original skins have been completely revamped:
USNGrey1
USNGrey2 *see notes about these 2*
Royal Norwegian Air Force (No.333 Squadron) original Dark Sea Grey, and NEW Lo-Viz
The new skins are:
JMSDF -in both GullGrey/White and LoViz grey overall (see notes)
RAAF -both #10 & #11 squadrons
USN- VP-40 "Fighting Marlins" (GG/W)
All skins are in jpg format. All new decals are included, "almost" all with historically matching BuNums-to-Modex numbers (wherever possible, and the information was discoverable). Decal randomization for ALL skins is TRUE. For those forces with paint scheme changes at specific years, the SF2 Date Switch (tm) is active.  
As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. There is also a huge amount of information in the "Notes" section. PLEASE read it!!!
Happy Landings!

23d Wing Pope AFB 1994
In the 1990s, the USAF experimented with composite wings that would have everything needed within a single unit for deployment into a regional fight.
The 23 Wing was formed in 1992 to bring about this vision, as applied to direct support of US Army forces. By 1994, 4 squadrons were ready at Pope AFB NC
to support the US Army's 82d ABN DIV at neighboring Fort Bragg. The 2d and 41st Airlift Squadrons flying the C-130E Hercules, the 74th Fighter Squadron flying
the F-16C/D Block 40 Vipers, and the 75th Fighter Squadron flying the A-10A Warthog. As is tradition for the 23d Wing, which traces its lineage to the
Flying Tigers of World War 2, every aircraft in the wing sported a sharks mouth.
This mod brings together everything needed to get the 23d Wing into the fight. Complete aircraft (including a newly revamped F-16D Block 40 from ravenclaw007), period specific weapons, sounds and effects.
Included
Viper Team F-16C Block 40 and 75th FS skin
ravenclaw007/Viper Team F-16D Block 40 and 75th FS skin
Dels C-130E_SKE with 2d ALS, 41st ALS Grey and 23d Wing Euro 1 skins
Various period specific weapons (actively in use 1994-1996)
Installation
unzip folder * drop into mod folder of your choice * allow overwrites
Known Issues
The C-130 and its weapons are primarlily eye candy. There are unfortuneatly no paratroop drop missions in SF2, and so if you want to drop say 1/325 INF onto a drop zone,
you will need to select a recon mission and punch those partarooper out by hand
I have been having issues getting the LAPES Sheridan tank to create a "crater" after dropping. it is still included for the visuals of puching a tank out the back of a Herk,
and because there was still an Airborne Armor Bn at Bragg in 1994. But at this time the tank will disappear on contact with the ground

UPDATE 31 DEC 20220
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After further research on other Hog units, and closer examination of the TW model, i have included Spectre8750's A-10A_93 model with updated numbers list.
I also changed several serials after determining that they were at other bases in 1995. The deduction I used to find the C-130 serials didnt work as well
for the Hogs. But it is fixed and I even discovered two Tiger Shark Hogs that were still in Euro 1 camoflage at the time. The A-10A_93 features two skins for
the bulk of the gray birds and the two green ones.

The Last CAstles: The B-52G at Castle AFB 1992-94
This mod creates a B-52G_92 to represent the last 24 G models in service from mid 1992 through early 1994 at Castle AFB. The mod has two skins for the 93rd Bomb Wing and the 34th Bomb Squadron. The 34th BS was a remote based part of the 366th Wing at the time.
     Included: B-52G_92 aircraft that is based off of my previous update to the B-52G_89. Two skins to showcase the two units. Weapons, effects and sounds from the previous mod are included.
    Historical Notes: While the aircraft as a whole is capable of carrying AGM-142 cruise missiles, only the 8 aircraft of the 34th BS were actually configured to carry these.
 Installation:unzip. put all folders into desired mod folder. Allow overwrites as needed.

"F-14A Iranian Bombcat"
 
--- !!! Requires SF2NA !!! 
--- It uses AvionicsF14A.dll, F-14A_77_Cockpit.lod and F-14A_77.lod model by ThirdWire.
--- This was tested at July 2013 patch level, on an "All 5 Merged" install.
Modification: 
Some data of the weapon pylons, loadout, avionics, cockpit, for make it possible to use the F-14A as a fighter bomber through A/G mode with CCIP on HUD.
Data of the leading edge slats, now movement it's automatic (depends by Angle of Attack).
I've added vapor effects for the fuselage and air intakes (visible during high g maneuvers).
Canopy now can be open by pressing shift-1 command.
I changed orientation of Iran on Nations.ini, from friend to enemy (now you can engage fight with nato and israel air force jets).

Mirage F1CT standard T1
This mod is dedicated to BPAO, nothing would have been possible without him.
The Mirage F1CT is a ground attack version of the Mirage F1C-200. Following their replacement in the air defence role by the Mirage 2000, the French Air Force had a number of surplus Mirage F1C-200s, and in 1988 it launched a conversion programme to turn these aircraft into interim ground attack aircraft to replace elderly Mirage IIIEs and Mirage Vs. The Mirage F1CT program brought the avionics of the F1C up to the standard of the F1CR, with the radar upgraded with the additional air-to-ground modes of the Cyrano IVM-R, an improved navigation/attack system fitted, with a laser rangefinder fitted under the nose. It was fitted with new Mk 10 ejection seats, while improved radar detection and warning devices, chaff/flare dispensers, and secure radios were also added. It gained the ability to carry a variety of air-to-ground weapons, including rockets, cluster bombs and laser-guided bombs, while retaining the F1Cs air-to-air armament (Wikipedia).
F1CT1 specifics:
R550, no R530, S530F, AUF2, no CLB4, no CLB8 radio-altimeter Inertial Navigation System Seat Mk10 RWR sherloc AAR probe laser ranging TMV630 Barax, Barracuda, Phimat, Corail gondolas (P0 station)  CC420 pods capability RPL201 EFT no left gun double wingtip position lights A big thank to all on Combatace and C6 forums that helped us solving issues we encountered.
Any omission in credits is totally unwanted, if I forgot somebody, let me know, I will correct this.
This addon is and will in all cases remain freeware.
Released under CombatAce Fair-Use terms.
Enjoy

This SU-27U package is for an SF2 installation. Just copy and paste the items from the included folders into the corresponding folders contained in your Saved Games>ThirdWire folder

NOTES:
This is a primitive version of the SU-27U Flanker heavy fighter, it is not optimized for ground attack but it can carry a lot of bombs.
the model is a SU-35 casing that we once worked with ALEDUCAT and it was never finished, today I finished it as a Sukhoi 27 to share it.
the chosen cockpit is the one created by YEYEYE, the original readme is added.
The missiles that I chose are from some weapons pack, I don't know who created them but it is appreciated.
I hope you enjoy.
By pressing the corresponding vectorization keys (vertical thrust) the plane becomes unstable like the SU-57 model, being able to perform the Cobra maneuver.
hope you like

North American F-100D Super Sabre (West Germany) for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 
This is a simple mod of the stock F-100D to create a fictional F-100D in service with the German Air Force in the 1958-1967 timeline with colourful 'Black Tulip' markings for JG 71.
I'm releasing this 'as is' as a request from a couple of my friends here at Combat Ace. Only 8 aircraft numbers are supplied and the complex nose marking is the best I can do with limited time.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-100Dwg folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-100Dwg folder into your Decals folder.
That's it! In your aircraft selection drop down menu you will find this under F-100D Super Sabre (West Germany) this is just to separate it from the standard F-100D as I've removed the refuelling probe from this version.

As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
